Matthew
27:51-56 is about the fifth sprinkling of blood, namely the miracles
that happen when Jesus dies.

Matthew
27:52-5327:52
and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had
fallen asleep were raised; 27:53 and coming out of the graves
after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to
many.The
third miracle is the graves are opened, meaning the death of Jesus
delivers us from the death or sin, so we can live in holiness and
become the witness of God.

Revelation
20:620:6
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over
such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God
and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

The
future meaning or prophetic one is the first resurrection that
happens when Jesus comes a second time.

The servants and sons
of God who enter the first resurrection will not experience the
second death in hell but become the priests and kings in the kingdom
of peace a thousand years or the Future Paradise.

Revelation
20:520:5
But the
rest of the dead
did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is
the first resurrection.

The
rest of the dead, who do not live, will wait for a thousand years and
then they will be resurrected in the second resurrection to
experience forever judgment in hell.Who are they?

People who do not believe
in Jesus.

The servants or sons of
God whose spirituality is not serious and there is no life renewal
but sinful life.

People who worship
antichrist.

Revelation
20:14-1520:14
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. 20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of
Life was cast into the lake of fire.

The
requirement of entering the kingdom of peace a thousand years is our
name's being written in the Book of Life.

1
Corinthians 15:51-5215:51
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed-- 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead
will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

We
will not all die, meaning there are servants or sons of God who have
already been dead when Jesus comes a second time and there are
servants or sons of God who are still alive at that time to be
changed in glorious body.

There are two kinds of the end of
human's life, so there will be two great things that happen when
Jesus comes a second time and the trumpet is blown as follows.

The servants and sons of
God who have already been dead but their names are written in the
Book of Life will be resurrected in glorious body as Jesus is.

The servants and sons of
God who are still alive and their names are written in the Book of
Life will be changed in glorious body as Jesus is.

Both of them will
become one glorious body of Christ or the perfect Bride of God who is
ready to welcome Jesus' second coming on glorious clouds.

Being
dead or alive is not a problem. The important thing is we have to
make serious effort while we are still alive in the world so that our
name can be written in the Book of Life.

The process we have to
follow until our name can be written in the Book of Life is as
follows.

Laboring to serve and
minister to God more than anything in the world.Philippians
4:34:3
And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored
with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow
workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

John
4:344:34
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent
Me, and to finish His work.

The
acceptable ministry before God is when we are obedient and faithful
until the end line. It means we give food to Jesus to satisfy
Him.As a result, our daily life needs such as food, drink, et
cetera, become the concerning of God. Moreover, He gives us heavenly
satisfaction, so we do not need to seek it in the world. The
unfaithful and disobedient will be vomited by God, so he becomes
unclean and not precious before Him even he perishes forever.

Luke
10:17,2010:17
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the
demons are subject to us in Your name."10:20 "Nevertheless
do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but
rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

We
must make serious efforts in order to become obedient and faithful
in doing our service and ministry until our name is written in the
Book of Life.

Not worshiping antichrist
but keeping on worshiping God.Revelation
13:813:8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not
been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world.

Revelation
12:1712:17
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war
with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and
have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Who
will worship antichrist? People who have the table of showbread and
golden candlestick but there is no golden altar of incense.There
is no golden altar of incense means as follows.

Being unfaithful until
not worshiping God or worshiping God because of being forced.

Worshiping God but not
reaching the measurement, so the flesh still speaks. The voice of
the flesh is anxiety, fear, and disobedience. Now we have to
force the flesh to worship God joyfully and with thanksgiving until
it does not speak anymore and we can fully surrender to Him. As a
result, our name is written in the Book of Life.

Experiencing the
reconciliation ministry of High Priest.Revelation
21:2721:27
But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or
causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in
the Lamb's Book of Life. It
is written in Old Testament that Aaron, the High Priest, brings
incense and blood of animal to do the reconciliation ministry. In
New Testament, Jesus brings the incense, referring to the
intercession prayer and His own blood, referring to the sprinkling
of blood, to do the reconciliation ministry.

There are two
kinds of the reconciliation ministry as follows.

Incense.1
John 2:1-22:1
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may
not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous. 2:2 And He Himself is the
propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the
whole world.

The
incense refers to the intercession prayer that is lifted up by
Jesus, Great Shepherd, and our pastor, so that we will not fall in
sins. Maybe now we are in sins but the intercession prayer is still
lifted up to make us not be judged but delivered from them, but if
we still keep the sins there will be judgment of God.

Blood, referring to the
sprinkling of blood.2
Corinthians 4:16-174:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is
perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working
for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

The
sprinkling of blood means the light affliction or suffering in
flesh to make us experience life renewal or the greatest shekinah
glory or miracle.

Ephesians
4:24-264:24
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God,
in true righteousness and holiness. 4:25 Therefore, putting
away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his
neighbor," for we are members of one another. 4:26 "Be
angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your
wrath,

Peter
lies with his three times of denial to Jesus. Moreover, he gets
angry without any love.Eli, the priest, is great and employed
by God but he does not get angry seeing wrong matters. It is also
life without any love.

We must experience the life renewal
until we can have the love of God. Afterwards, we are in the
embrace of the hand of the High Priest which is full of mercy.

The
result is as follows.

The merciful hand of is
able to help us from all problems even the impossible one in His
time.Hebrews
2:17-182:17
Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that
He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things
pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the
people. 2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being
tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

The merciful hand of God
is able to give us beautiful, successful, and joyful future
life.Jeremiah
29:1129:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a
hope.

The merciful hand of
High Priest writes our name in the Book of Life. Exodus
32:30-3332:30
Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people,
"You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the
LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin." 32:31
Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Oh, these people
have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of
gold! 32:32 "Yet now, if You will forgive their sin --
but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have
written." 32:33 And the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever
has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

Whoever
we are, God's hand is able to write our name in the Book of Life
when we want to be sprinkled with blood to confess and leave our
sins. The proof that our name is written in the Book of Life is
the peace in our heart, so there is no fear, enemy, bitterness,
anxiety, or uncleanness and wickedness sins.
